HFT with a springer 😱😁

[gsxrman]

As above really and hold sensitivity can also vary hugely between different rifles with the old springer shooting business being a dark art and i found out by going the long route that when it comes down to it there’s no substitute for practice, i tried 5 different top of the range rifles which were stock/tuned by various people and always hit a ceiling of around 49/60 on the course with my biggest problem being an inconsistent follow through of the shot, I really enjoyed my hft days though and very very sadly my local hft shoot which was Quarry Hunters is now closed…

Totally agree with above. Practice practice practice.
Consistent hold in different positions is key. Are you allowed a glove in HFT now ?, if so, wear one.

I do believe that gloves are now allowed. And highly recommended for so many reasons.

Nothing really to add to what's been said - hold consistency, use a glove, use naturally occurring rests

The one bit of HFT that I think robs it of the realism it offers that FT doesn't is shooting prone -but if you can, why wouldn't you!?!?!

A strong prone technique narrows the playing field between PCP and springer by taking away a lot of the weight difference

Thanks gents some good tips there , there’s only so much tuning you can do I guess the rest is just technique and consistency 👍
